|---|---|---|---|
| Deck widthThe cutting-deck width in the maker's name or spec table. A wider deck cuts more grass per pass. | 16 in | 17 in | 25% |
| Kit battery energyBattery energy in watt-hours, computed as volts x amp-hours of the battery or batteries the maker says come in the kit (for example 40 V x 6 Ah x 2 = 480 Wh). Bigger batteries generally mean more work per charge from the same tool. | 144 Wh | 160 Wh | 20% |
